Show Weber County Happy As 4-Year College Clears Utah House A jubilant delegation from Weber County watched an "education "edu-cation minded" House of Representatives Repre-sentatives roll up a large majority ma-jority vote in favor of extending Weber College from a two to a four year college. The Senate had already passed the measure and final decision now rests with Gov. George D. Clyde, who is expected to sign the bill. Preceded by an informative and thorough presentation of the case for Weber College by Pres. William P. Miller, the measure garnered 55 ayes with only 7 nays. Four representatives were absent and not voting. Moving tribute was paid during dur-ing an "explanation of vote" to J Rep. Aaron W. Tracy (D-Weber) retired educator now serving his first term in the . 1 Legislature. Rep. Carl H. Taylor (D-Weber) in a request to explain his vote I offered an affirmative ballot as a personal tribute to the man who, "years ago, stood m the old ! assembly hall and predicted this -day. He said Weber College would move into new and larger i quarters and that Weber College 1 would be a four year college." Deeply moved at what he considered con-sidered the signal honor of serving, serv-ing, years later, beside the veteran vet-eran educator, Rep. Taylor told press representatives, "I attended attend-ed Weber in 1933. Aaron Tracy stood on the stage and made the statement that the campus would become too small and that an j enlarged campus must soon be acquired. He also stated that Weber College would become a four year college. We all giggled and said, 'Aaron's having a pipe dream.' Little did I dream that h'i and I would be sitting in the Legislature together in 1959, trying to get this very thing done." If all the cars in the country were put end to end, 90 per cent of the drivers would pull out to pass the car ahead. |
